What is this about?

An Equilateral Triangle in Napoleon's Circumcircles

Let $ABC',$ $BCA',$ and $CAB'$ be Napoleon's triangles constructed on the sides of $\Delta ABC.$ Choose point $D$ on the circumcircle $ABC',$ pass it through $A$ to the intersection $F$ with $C(CAB')$ and through $E$ to the intersection $E$ with $C(BCA').$
